MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE

My biggest challenge was preserving the game's delicate balance between comfort and horror through Brazilian Portuguese localization. The dialogue had to feel warm and natural during the quieter moments with Meowmie, while gradually shifting toward a more unsettling tone as the protagonist's memories and the reality behind her situation became clearer. I paid particular attention to the emotional nuances of the dialogue and the game's final scenes, making sure the Portuguese localization maintained the sense of intimacy, grief, and ambiguity that makes the story so impactful.
